:: Definitions or a reference are in order. I never heard of quackquack or here documents, and found nothing when I tried googling for these terms. Some languages I've worked with have a way of directing a file read function to treat some immediate data within the program as if it were an external file. Is that what we're talking about here, or is the task simply to express string literals with embedded whitespace? —[[User:Sonia|Sonia]] 23:33, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
:::"quackquack" is slang for "<<" (sort of like "bang" is slang for "!"). Here documents have an article [[wp:Here document|on wikipedia]]. Looks like it's just for literals. I had never heard either of the terms either. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 01:47, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Might the original author consider a more mainstream phrase?
